A United Airlines flight was diverted to Denver International Airport on Saturday afternoon after a passenger tried to open a door in mid-flight.

The plane landed safely at DIA just after 5 p.m. Flight 223 had been traveling from Washington Dulles International Airport to Las Vegas, according to DIA officials. The disturbance began about 4:45 p.m., said Charlie Hobart, a United spokesman.

Police met the plane at the gate and took the passenger into custody.

The man had consumed alcohol before and during the flight, said Kathy Wright, an FBI spokeswoman. After questioning at DIA, the suspect was sent for a medical evaluation.

This week, investigators will determine whether charges will be filed.
